To date, the first step of the data gathering, analysis and constraint mapping has been undertaken by consultants Premise. This preliminary research work has looked at:

  • the composition of households and demographics of our community.

As we move into the next phase of this important project, there are two targets for community consultation: Landholders, and the general community.
